In dialogue with Nicaragua’s Sandinista govt, #SOSNicaragua leaders have demanded Ortega leave or else. As the push for a coup enters a new phase, the US prepares to attack Nicaragua’s economy as it’s done to Venezuela. miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…
In Western media accounts of Nicaragua's crisis, vital context almost always seems to be missing. Ortega rejected an IMF austerity plan that would have privatized health clinics & raised the retirement age. And he's since rescinded his own proposal. miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

Those "Trees of Life" were erected in cities around Nicaragua by first lady/Vice President Rosario Murillo. I personally find them frivolous and bizarre. Here is #SOSNicaragua bringing one of them down like a giant fly swatter on a Guatemalan videographer.
